“These have made the governor to govern seamlessly with attendant socio-economic development of the state and better life for the people,” he said.

He called on party members to brace up for the tasks ahead by ensuring success in all future elections at local, state and national levels.

Those at the meeting included the Deputy Governor, Mrs Monisade Afuye; Speaker, Ekiti House of Assembly, Adeoye Aribasoye; and Special Adviser on Political and Inter-party Matters, Chief Jide Awe;  and other parties stalwarts.

Oyebanji thanked the party leadership, the State Working Committee and his two predecessors in office – Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Dr Kayode Fayemi for their support in ensuring that his administration succeeds.

He said, “I must thank party members for passing a vote of confidence in my administration. I am so happy about that and this is going to be a regular meeting to discuss with them as the situation arises.

“My message for our members is to love one another. We should continue to hold the ground for our party and pray for this administration. We should also open our windows and doors to bring in more people into the party and as well maintain peace among themselves.”
